I had admittedly put-off visiting this quasi-local spot because they specialize in lagers; "all-well-and-good, but less intriguing," I’d thought. I was wrong to shun the brewery, and equally wrong to shun this hangout. Industrial in design, but small enough to offer the intimacy lost on a lot of industrial spots, and comfortable enough for all sorts of evenings. Couches and arm chairs literally in the brewing area with a bunch of tables (chairs or picnic) in front of a longer bar than most. Bring your own food; a bunch of options are close by. Hands down the coolest dart wall I’ve played on. Foosball. Often live music from surprisingly well-chosen bands. And a whole bunch of different beers that do not lack creativity nor ability to please. GO!

close to uofm stadium very cool pub kinda like a frat house in a good way. they specialize in lagers and have lots of them.

A newer brewery in an old warehouse. I enjoy the focus on lagers and most beers are solid. Ambiance is a little cold but nice. Beers rotate fairly frequently. Samplers are nice. Only snacks available.

An interesting concept to go mostly lager, but it came off as gimmicky to me. Tried two of their hoppier beers, one an India pale lager, one an English style IPA, and neither really worked for me. The hops in the lager seemed being out of place amidst very rich, oktoberfest-like malt, and the ale tasted like they should stick to lagers after all. Perhaps I should have tried their flagships instead, but was underwhelmed in any case. I’d like a brewery to focus on making good beer of whatever sort rather than try to create a false niche and fill in some gaps with mediocre beer.

A great new brewpub in Ann Arbor! It is a little tricky to find, but not impossible. This place focuses on lagers, and makes a few unusual styles (ie india pale lager). There were a lot of beers on tap, I guess 8-10. There are TVs and a pool table I believe. Although it seems to be targeted to a college-aged crowd, most of the people there on a Thursday late afternoon were middle aged, older folks (granted this was probably before the spring semester began, but nonetheless). I don’t believe they serve food. Overall, a neat new place in AA, and worth a stop for a pint of lagery goodness!

Had a sampler and a beer while watching Tigers beat Texas! Decent atmosphere for a Tuesday. No food. 9 beers on tap, 8 lagers and an IPA. The dark lager and Czech Pils, were my favorites. The one ale was an IPA which was pretty good. They had a barrel aged Octoberfest which was tasty. If you want some pretty good lagers made locally look no further. Definite stop on an Ann Arbor beer tour.

Heaven! Decent lagers at great prices! A comfortable, easy, relaxed vibe in the afternoon. A nonchelant, but managable bartender. Fitting glassware. Good temperatures. Kid friendly. I wish this was here in my Ann Arbor heyday, so that I didn’t have to go to Leopold Brothers, Arbor, or Grizzly Peak. This place makes those places seem intolerable.

looks like an old wharehouse, outside and inside, a bit sparse decoration, totally a college hang out, the generic wolverine is annoying... nice selection of 9 beers, vast varieties so a sampler is the way to go... all the beers were pretty solid, I was actually shocked how good they were... worth coming to

This is a pretty cool place. I love the feel, which has Michigan themed wall art, concrete walls, cement floors, a big bar, and comfortable seating. Wolverine makes lagers, and they boast that they are Michigan’s most drinkable beers. Tried a couple beers on my way through Ann Arbor, and I can’t wait to go back to try some more and participate in some of the events they hold.
